Dapper & Ramon: [Nodding vigorously]

Phil: [Cracks up] We gotta get outta here, dude. We gotta get up– we gotta get out. How tf do we get out of this place?

Throwback to Phil seeing Aypierre's massive factory for the first time.

soooo I’m very very bad at being photogenic and I’m never gonna get around to making a proper post, so in honour of it being halloween here’s some miscellaneous pics of the Kaisa cosplay I made (aka me goofing around at cons). I still love this cosplay very much and take it to cons whenever I can. I’m proud of it :) also ft. my own familiar inspecting the wand for me :))

(also if you look at the 2nd one you can see my friend standing behind me to hold the wand in my hair while we tried to recreate that one shot from the show JBKSHJSH)

I am a huge Dan Howell fan. Really just a huge Phannie in general. Have been for at least 8 or 9 years. So, naturally, when Dan came out with “We’re All Doomed” I bought tickets to the first online showing. With the Dan Q&A after and everything. Not a brag at all, but just to give context.

The first time I saw it, I laughed so hard, I could feel myself become faint. By the end, I was sobbing. And I was just wishing I could buy it in DVD or something.

Today, for the first time since it was released, I rewatched “We’re All Doomed” on YouTube.

I have, “Embrace the void and have the courage to exist.” Written on the side of my converse. I am a dork and a half about these two.

I have the potential to live to my 80s or die before I’m 21 because of my cancer. And that can be extremely discouraging some days when I know I need to do things and be a human. Because, If I’m likely to die so young, why do anything at all?

But Dan said something that we all need to hear when we feel like that- for any reason.

“We may all be doomed. Death may be inevitable. But first, we get to live.”

I often forget that before I die, I get to live.

There are things worth fighting for and worth living for. Relationships, education, careers, or really even just the planet itself. Life is a miraculous thing and we are surrounded by it.

Life is worth living. Every single day is worth embracing and enjoying to the fullest. Some days you can’t get out of bed, and you can still enjoy that day to the fullest.

Being sick can make it hard to live before you die. But everyday is worth embracing for what it is.

I doubt Dan will ever see this, but if he ever did, somehow, miraculously, I would want to say:

Thank you, Dan, for reminding us of these things. And thank you for making my childhood as bearable as it was- even through my first bought of cancer treatment. I, at 14, would rewatch your old videos and watch the Undertale play through just to remember that friendships are worth staying alive for and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel if I only kept trying. So, yeah. Thanks for reminding me that life is worth living, even when you yourself felt it maybe wasn’t.

Forever a phannie, finding the courage to exist,

Howl

ur erik is ugly and nobody cares about ur fatass oc omg people werent even like that back then 💀

Thank you for stating the obvious about my Erik design because I have stated many times he is meant to be ugly! Also, fat people actually have existed throughout all of time! Fat people are allowed to do the same things as thinner people, if you didn’t realise that?

This is a thing called fiction (if you know what that is) and I can do what I want with it. Shocking, I know. Even if people don’t care about my content, I’m enjoying myself!

Whoops hand slipped here’s some TADC character fanart. Apologies for the severe lack of Pomni in this one idk where she went off to…maybe she got lost on her way to find the exit. The lines are incredibly choppy & rushed, I know, but it was still fun art practice! I don’t draw these guys nearly enough anyways so this is a nice change of pace. Support indie animation :3

im stuck between shipping makokuu and headcanoning aromantic kuusuke 😞

I am so late to this but Idc it’s been on my mind so I feel like saying it 🥰

I do not think Oliver is biphobic at all. I think that he has handled Buck’s arc with care, and I am grateful for how he has taken it, and the response he has given to both support and backlash. Although I do think the whole #letbuckfuck thing is a bit murky, and personally, I thought it was a bit of a weird thing to say. Not necessarily saying I think it was offensive, just saying that I think it was something that really didn’t need to be said

However, I am not bisexual. Therefore, whilst I can have my opinion, or views or whatever on what he said, I do not get to decide if what he said was offensive or biphobic. I am genuinely not trying to speak for any or all bisexual people, however I personally believe that I don’t have a right to decide if something he has said is biphobic, or if he as a person is biphobic.

If you are not bisexual, you do not get to decide if something an actor has said is offensive for bisexuals. I don’t care how much you love or hate an actor, if you do are not part of the group of people who you are claiming that something is offensive or not offensive for, then please stop. It is not your place and you need to accept that

is it scummy to block people because you disagree with their takes 😭😭 it’s never anything personal obv but . like. would that just be mean………..

[chuluoyi]

not to be rude and i totally get you people are angry with 261 leaks, but if you use my askbox as an outlet for rudely hating gege, my posts, and the whole storyline… please don’t😭 get your attachment issues elsewhere—i’m not his spokesperson or anything. i just read the whole chapter -> analyze it -> be done with it and know fully that it’s gege’s manga we’re reading and we can’t control how he writes his story alright😩

was gonna make a little "if you enjoy my glitter & blinkies, send me a tip for my bday" post ...

but also the relative who'd agreed to help me with rent & college costs backed out because she doesn't want me to transition. AND my delivery of groceries & cleaning supplies was just stolen 😮‍💨 so help is super extra appreciated rn. I'm having dismally bad luck job hunting.

PLEASE spill the Makoto cop tea. I'm always down to hear people's thoughts on that

Thanks anon! I do my best to keep this blog positive-vibes only, but since you asked I will answer. Warning: DO NOT read this post if you do not want to see any criticisms about Makoto Nijima from P5 + discussions of police. This is not hate towards the character or her fans. It's just criticism for the writing choices and their implications for her.

Makoto Nijima does NOT want to reform the police. There's a mandela effect in the fandom where everyone seems to think she does, but rewatch her rank 10. Reform isn't mentioned at all. I'm so serious. What she actually says is this:

Within her confidant, the context is the host that was preying on her friend Eiko. Wanting to stop situations like that is good and makes sense 👍 The writers framed her decision to become a cop as a response to the most clean-cut black-and-white situation ever.

But here's the thing though: what happens when the lawless and the victims are the same people? Because in the real world, crime tends to concentrate among the poor and marginalized. The real world is not black and white. And I try to separate my personal experiences with the law from the media/art I engage with, but that doesn't work here because the game at large doesn't portray society as black and white.

There are a number of people in this game that do wrong because they have been hurt or are marginalized or did not receive proper help. A lot of mementos requests are about 'lawless' people and yet many are portrayed as 'due to systemic issues' or a lack of support or developing mental illness. It's also not a coincidence that Akechi is the most marginalized of all the phantom thieves and he was the one who did the most crime. There is deliberate social commentary here. People do not become lawless out of nowhere. They are shaped by their circumstances. And the game itself sympathizes with these people, focusing on changing/ helping them. The game's conclusion is that providing support and rehabilitation is the solution. Rehabilitative justice > Punitive justice.

Police wouldn't achieve that. Police in the game are framed as corrupt and incompetent at their core. Our protagonist is one of their biggest victims to demonstrate how they are weaponized against the weak. Even Sae Nijima at the end of the story has shifted to become a defense attorney rather than attempting to reform it (best character arc btw) because she recognized that the system is broken. And you can't even blame it just on Shido controlling the police because we see that the problems persist beyond him. By the end of the story they remain useless or outright harmful. The police do not help or rehabilitate, they only punish.

So no, this isn't me projecting my personal issues with cops onto the story because within the game's own story, law enforcement is not the solution. If it were a question of reform, we could debate about whether police reform is possible, but again: Makoto doesn't care about reform. It never comes up. According to the writers, she wants to be a cop because she thinks not enough lawless people are being punished. You can argue that her wanting to 'head an organization' means she wants to be in a position of power where she can reform them, but remember that police only enforce the law. They do not make the law. If reform was her goal she would be a politician. (I honestly thought that's what she was set up to be, since she was student council president and all but I digress)

Also a small detail, but notice how she mentions destroying the lawless before she mentions helping victims? It's super minor but I think it's indicative of the cop mentality. There's greater priority on punishing than helping.

I also dislike this conclusion to her arc because it's net zero character growth. You're telling me the character that was rebelling against corrupt adults' orders is now becoming a cop, the biggest bootlicking profession of them all? She started the story being a well-intentioned pushover, and she's ending her story being a well-intentioned pushover. And it doesn't matter whether she as an individual is a good person or not. All cops comply to be active participants in a system that is designed to hurt the weak and prop up the powerful.

TLDR: You do not help victims by punishing the 'lawless'. You help victims by helping victims. Period. Makoto becoming a cop is a contradiction of this and her own character arc. Either the writers did her dirty by not thinking this through or this is meant to be who she really is, and both those possibilities upset me.

do you ever just look back at something an ex said to you and regret that it did not turn into a full blown fight
